Tahito is a world first indigenous ethical investment company which invests in Australasian companies through its fund, Te Tai o Rehua. It uses Maori values, especially around the environment, to screen companies before investing in them. Tahito's managing director Temuera Hall says "initially we thought we'd be laughed out of the room" but the company has been a success with aspirations to expand globally.
